Hi Im using a new hotspot setup for 200 users approx and while it was fairly easy to setup and I can get an DHCP address and splash login page works however when i get to login to get the internet to google.com it just reverts back to login page. I have looked at the logs it says radius not responding.
- DHCP works
2.hotspot Splash page works
- Radius test utitlity works when hotspot disabled on eth2.
4 im using an x86 pc with 2 ethernet cards possibly 3 soon with squid server.
5.radius server is external - hotspot system.com wanting to do the free package to make sure i get it working first
ive spent countless hours trying to find an answer can anyone help?
needing this done pretty soon can anyone help maybe theres something wrong with the firewall rules?
Which RADIUS server are you using?
edit: I see. Hotspotsystem.com? If their RADIUS server is as slow as their webpage, increase the timeout in /radius.
/radius
print detail
set 0 timeout=5s
Also I recommend using radius debug logging.
/system logging
add topics=radius,debug action=memory
WOW after all that time trying to get it to work. thank you very much surfertim! it really worked. it seemed a bit slow to start with. are they generally slow? im on a free version perhaps i should look elsewhere?
That depends on your skill level. I use FreeRADIUS, but the setup is not for the beginner. There are some other RADIUS servers that are not as difficult to set up, but are not normally free.
FreeRADIUS has a 1 second delay for access-reject, so that will seem a bit slow. That is a brute force hack feature.
